If you're worried about Facebook artificial intelligence being able to recognize every part of your life or gaining sentience, that future is a long time away. While the company's deep-learning lab has made great strides in facial recognition, its natural language systems are very much in their infancy, according to Yann Lecun, Facebook's director of AI research, who is charged with the task of making the fruits of machine learning more humanlike.

The NVIDIA Inception Program provides early access to the latest GPU hardware, NVIDIA's deep learning experts and engineering teams, technical training, as well as investment in order help them develop products and services with a first-mover advantage. One of its early collaborations is with NYU, whose researchers are set to work alongside NVIDIA scientists and engineers to develop autonomous driving technology, for which NVIDIA has already created the Drive PX2 chips. The team will seek to grow the the current NVIDIA learning system to encompass all aspects of autonomous driving, eliminating the need for hand-programmed rules and procedures like finding lane markings to avoid the creation of a near infinite number of'if, then, else' statements, which is impractical to code when trying to account for the randomness that occurs on the road.

Web browsers might soon use fuzzy logic to spot redirection spam and save users from being scammed, phished or opening malicious sites unwittingly, according to researchers in India writing in the International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics. Redirection spam occurs when a user opens a link in an email that leads to an unexpected and often malicious page, or when they open a page that has been hacked or injected with malware, which then redirects to a malicious page. Often the redirection occurs instantaneously and transparently without the user being aware until it is too late and login details or credit card number have been divulged to the criminal third party. Frequently, there will be a malware payload that infects the user's computer at the same time. According to Kanchan Hans of Amity University, in Noida, India, and colleagues, legitimate web page redirections are a ubiquitous part of the web used for server load balancing, link logging and URL rewriting and shortening.

Since 2007, I've read countless versions of the "Apple is doomed" argument, most of them related to the iPhone. Apple was doomed because it dared compete in the smartphone business, then it was doomed when Android came along, and then it was doomed every time a product failed to arouse the imagination of some analyst or journalist. In all this time, however, Apple has been anything but doomed. And it's likely that will not happen in the foreseeable future. Today's version of "Apple is doomed" comes from well-known outspoken software developer Marco Arment, who has often shared his views on Apple's business.

SAN FRANCISCO - SEPTEMBER 08: Google Vice President of Search Product and User Experience Marissa Mayer speaks during an announcement September 8, 2010 in San Francisco, California. Google announced the launch of Google Instant, a faster version of Google search that streams results live as you type your query. Google is consistently exploring all facets of virtual learning with the success of online applications, with a new artificial intelligence lab. Focusing on machines learning for the advancement of its products, Google Research Europe would be based in Switzerland. Following Google's recently launched Assistant, the company's European research team on artificial intelligence would be under the expertise of Emmanuel Mogenet plus up to a few hundred colleagues.

Remember classic Hollywood films in which someone like Mickey Rooney or Judy Garland gushed, "C'mon, gang, let's get a Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network to put on a show"? Um, well, neither do I; but someday that could be the cliche our children remember. According to CBS News, filmmaker Oscar Sharp and his technologist collaborator Ross Goodwin have built a machine that can write screenplays. They fed the neural network (named Benjamin) hundreds of movie scripts and some prompts and it regurgitated a sparse script, which was turned into the short YouTube video "Sunspring". I'm sure a lot of you assumed that Tinseltown was already using artificial intelligence (AI) to crank out its endless sequels and knuckleheaded knockoffs; but, no, this is a new "thought experiment," as CBS calls it.

We have been hearing predictions for decades of a takeover of the world by artificial intelligence. In 1957, Herbert A. Simon predicted that within 10 years a digital computer would be the world's chess champion. That didn't happen until 1996. And despite Marvin Minsky's 1970 prediction that "in from three to eight years we will have a machine with the general intelligence of an average human being," we still consider that a feat of science fiction. The pioneers of artificial intelligence were surely off on the timing, but they weren't wrong; AI is coming.

New Delhi: With its new research lab,based outside United States (US), Google is all set to focus on machine learning as a part of its artificial intelligence. Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that provides computer with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, the new unit called Google Research, Europe is one of largest Google's engineering office outside US. It will be a part of the wider Google Research operation, which includes thousands of people worldwide. The search engine giant made this announcement in its official blogpost where it mentioned that the new group, led by Emmanuel Mogenet will mainly focus on three areas- machine intelligence, natural language processing (NPL) and machine perception.

Since the end of Google IO 2016, a new narrative has been looming around the messaging industry: "AI is the new black". Although the hype has been growing earlier for Privacy-by-Default, Google said: "No, we're choosing AI-by-default". AI, according to Google, will revolutionize how you perceive messaging. For that, Google's new app, Allo, will be listening to all your conversations, thus analyzing your photos and text messages. The goal is to provide you with smart replies and to suggest services that you might need without leaving the app.
